Continued Post-Nasal Drip and Constant Mucus in Throat

@linh Have you tried Cromolyn?It has helped me to NOT have a constantly running nose at work.And home.You might give that a try.

@linh I have postnasal drip I feel like my mucus go down to my throat ,for now ENT presc8 fluticasone propionate spray twice but I think something help and need some who know to help me with that too

I have been coughing for 4 years. This started after Covid. It comes and stays for a month, goes away for about 2 1/2 weeks, and come back. I've been to cardiology, asthma and allergy, PCP, pulmonary and gastro. I've taken, Mucinex, Albuterol, Trelegy, Budesonide, Zyrtec, Allegra, Xyzal, and Pantoprazole..... NOTHING! I've had chest x-rays, a battery of pulmonary testing, allergy testing, nothing.... Post nasal drip is HORRENDOUS! I do nasal rinses in the morning and at night. I've used Azelastine and Flonase...nothing. I can't sleep laying down any more, I have to sleep propped up. I sleep on a cpap that is cleaned daily and replacements are monthly. I had my airducts cleaned, I've pulled up the carpet in my home, nothing stops it. I'm at my wits end. I NEED HELP!

Review: Currently, 71 years old, male. Mild COVID March 2020. Feb 2021, leg neuropathy causing weakness and pain, some brain fog, GI issues, epigastric pain, skin reactivity causing infections requiring antibiotics from simple bug bites AND the feeling that something was in the back of my throat, causing me to constantly clear my throat. Scoped at the ENT, "No growths, drink more fluids, try Mucinex" Made no difference. March 2021, stopped all Gluten. Within a month, all symptoms improved and throat mucus disspiated. Why? Opinion: COVID creates an inflammatory response including histamine release. The histamine is responsible for producing copious, thick mucus. Gluten was responsible (in my situation) for the histamine response. I also eliminated processed meat at the same time.

I posted some time back about this. My wife has been using Thyme to help with the drainage. She uses 1/4 of a teaspoon and places it under her tongue, letting it desolve for a short time then chewing and swallowing the remainder. It is not a cure but she says it does provide her with relief for a while. This may not work for you but it is a simple thing to try. Good Luck.

I have postnasal drip and cough from Covid, but even more recently from a two-week upper respiratory virus. After going through bags of cough drops, my son suggested this: put 2-3 drops of peppermint oil under your tongue; add some water, then swish and spit it. It helps for several hours.

@jimthescientist Agree...mine is the same. Post COVID, I am now allergic to gluten, dairy, beer/red wine, and sugar. If I choose to eat foods with these ingredients, I have a massive allergic reaction including watery eyes, stuffy nose, nasal discharge, coughing and rashes. It is pretty hard to stay away from all of the food sources but if I do, all of the symptoms go away including the mucous. I do have a cheat day a few times a month and know I will feel like garbage later but it is worth it to have foods I love.

@roshonda1977 Mucous was a huge clue that my immune system was attempting to expel the cellular waste but it was not functioning normally. Twice a month explosions of thick yellow mucus drainage made it obvious the 'transporters of waste' seriously dysfunctional. I'd never had a sinus issue in my lifetime. The origins: my Sphenoid sinus cavity was clogged and inflamed which is the natural drain for the brain. And, the yellow ooze was draining to my stomach and impacted by gut health. I had micro surgery for the sinus cavities and I am now on program for rebuilding gut health naturally. After 6 moths, blood work discovered a cycle for T-Cell dysfunction, where the T-Cells after 3 years were in overdrive to fight spike protein pieces that had not been cleared by my body (test strips of the yellow ooze were positive for Covid) so my immune system was sending massive spike anti-body fighters. The T-Cell CD4 messages that spike protein invaders were present had been in overdrive sending messages to the T-Cell CD8 killer and transporters of waste. These CD8 fighters total count was very low and the killers and transporters were compromised. After 3 years of 'specialists' to find answers to my 'symptoms', the why and what for my symptoms has come down to the spike protein causing my Long Covid.

See if there is a doctor in your area that specializes in treatment protocols to purge this spike protein and the smaller pieces of the spike protein which remain after the anti-bodies blow up the Spike protein. I started by 'calling' offices to discuss my research discovery.

Is there a bottom line for what caused this? Per The National Health Institute detailed reports (Strategies for the Management of Spike Protein): Spike proteins negatively impact human exosomes, communicators and transporters of cellular waste. Because the exosomes transfer DNA, RNA, and proteins to other cells, thereby altering the function of the target cells, if they are dysfunctional, removal of covid waste is in jeopardy. Covid remnants have been found hiding in 'fat' cells throughout the body by 2 California experts in Long Covid. I had hoped the state Infectious Disease Experts would take this on, however, my referral was rejected. I looked for an expert in Immunology (normally in an Allergy Clinic), they did not take on patients with Long Covid. I'll keep digging...

@vostie yes. I never had problem with gluten. Now that is another thing I can’t eat. But , Sour dough bread is fine, no problem. With that. Also, very healthy is a bread called Ezekiel . It does have gluten, but it does not have any flour and is delicious toated. If I’m too lazy, I eat it without toasting

@kyrazpollet I have also had good luck with spelt bread which does not contain wheat.
